Congress members across party lines have rebuked President Donald Trump's personal attack against MSNBC host Mika Brzezinski.

Republican senators Ben Sasse and Lindsey Graham were among the first to do so.

Fellow GOP member and Kansas Representative Lynn Jenkins did the same.

Meanwhile, House Speaker Paul Ryan labeled the attack inappropriate.

Later, former presidential candidate Jeb Bush weighed in.

As for Mika Brzezinski, the MSNBC host appeared to respond to the president with a not-so-subtle subtweet. Judging by the reaction of a number of Republican congress members though, it's clear that they wish she didn't have to in the first place.
